I am here because my clients that request quotes for artwork can't seem to tell what 'SFW only' means anymore.

If you gotta send me a screenshot of your character's snatch tattoo... it's NOT SFW. 0n0

This is an answer I haven't seen before but I'm already 100% in agreement. People automatically assume web artists in certain communities are okay with drawing pornography, especially in anime and furry communities.

Yeah, I do a lot of work for anime/video game stuff and there's been this slide into porn-ificaton of everything. Slap an anime girl 10 year old's face on that and it just gets deeply uncomfortable. I do what I can to alter client designs or use SFW ones to show that characters don't have to be ultra sexy to be appealing.

My publicly posted rules are incredibly strict and detailed but lewd projects still get through as they test the boundaries of what work I will take. There's definitely a desensitization effect with the over-use and mainstreaming of porn into animation, games, and comics.
